Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various ways in which steps, sequences of steps, processing tasks, and/or data may be subdivided, shared, or otherwise dealt with using iteration, recursion, and/or parallel processing.

Still referring to FIG. 1, computing device 104 is configured to initiate a communication channel interface between the computing device 104 and a client device 112 operated by a human subject. A “human subject,” as used in this disclosure, is a person at a client device 112 receiving telemedicine services such as a virtual doctor's visit, physical, “checkup,” or the like. A “communication channel interface,” as used in this disclosure, is a communication medium within an interface. A communication channel interface may include an application, script, and/or program capable of providing a means of communication between at least two parties, including any oral and/or written forms of communication. A communication channel interface may allow computing device 104 to interface with electronic devices through graphical icons, audio indicators including primary notation, text-based user interfaces, typed command labels, text navigation, and the like. A communication channel interface may include slides or other commands that may allow a user to select one or more options. A communication channel interface may include free form textual entries, where a user may type in a response and/or message. A communication channel interface includes a display interface. Display interface includes a form or other graphical element having display fields, where one or more elements of information may be displayed. Display interface may display data output fields including text, images, or the like containing one or more messages. A communication channel interface may include data input fields such as text entry windows, drop-down lists, buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, sliders, links, or any other data input interface that may capture user interaction as may occur to persons skilled in the art upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure. A communication channel interface may be provided, without limitation, using a web browser, a native application, a mobile application, and the like.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 initiates a communication channel interface with a client device 112. A “client device,” as used in this disclosure, is a second computing device 104, including for example a mobile device such as a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, and/or any other type of device suitable for use as computing device 104. Client device 112 is operated by a human subject; human subject may include a person to whom telemedicine services are being rendered, including without limitation a patient. Computing device 104 may initiate communication channel interface using any network methodology as described herein. In an embodiment, a communication channel interface may be utilized to facilitate communications between a client device 112 operated by a human subject, and computing device 104 which may be operated by a user; user may include a doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, medical technician, medical assistant, pharmacist, pharmacy technician, and/or any other medical professional. For example, client device 112 may be operated by a patient who is in communication with a medical professional operating computing device 104, and communication channel interface may be utilized to have a telemedicine appointment. In yet another non-limiting example, client device 112 may be operated by a first member of a support group, and computing device 104 may be operated by a second member of the support group, whereby communication channel interface may be utilized to facilitate support group meetings and secure communications between members of the support group.

Further referring to FIG. 1, display interface may include a secure display interface, which may be implemented, maintained, and/or validated according to any process as described in U.S. Nonprovisional application Ser. No. 16/919,674, filed on Jul. 2, 2020, and entitled “METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING A SECURE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL INTERFACE FOR STREAMING OF SENSITIVE CONTENT,” the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, an as a non-limiting example, initiating a secure communication channel interface 108 may include transmitting to user client device 112 a configuration packet uniquely identifying computing device 104. A “configuration packet,” as used in this disclosure, is an encrypted message including a non-public device identifier.” An encrypted message, includes any language that contains text, characters, and/or symbols that have been converted into an alternative form, such as but not limited to ciphertext. An encrypted message may include using an algorithm and/or a series of algorithms to transform plaintext messages into ciphertext. Encrypted messages may only be viewed in a non-encrypted from by decrypting it using a correct decryption key. Encrypted messages may be decrypted using both symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic key pairs, such as for example a public and private key pair. An encrypted message may be generated in a manner that complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) of 1996. A message may be encrypted using a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. In one embodiment, a process of converting plaintext into ciphertext is known as “encryption.” Encryption process may involve the use of a datum, known as an “encryption key,” to alter plaintext. Cryptographic system may also convert ciphertext back into plaintext, which is a process known as “decryption.” Decryption process may involve the use of a datum, known as a “decryption key,” to return the ciphertext to its original plaintext form. In embodiments of cryptographic systems that are “symmetric,” decryption key is essentially the same as encryption key: possession of either key makes it possible to deduce the other key quickly without further secret knowledge. Encryption and decryption keys in symmetric cryptographic systems may be kept secret and shared only with persons or entities that the user of the cryptographic system wishes to be able to decrypt the ciphertext. One example of a symmetric cryptographic system is the Advanced Encryption Standard (“AES”), which arranges plaintext into matrices and then modifies the matrices through repeated permutations and arithmetic operations with an encryption key.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, a “non-public device identifier,” as used in this disclosure, is a decryption key that cannot be readily deduced without additional secret knowledge, such as for example, a private key. A non-public device identifier may include a randomly generated number that cannot be easily guessed. A non-public device identifier may be generated using a stream cipher and/or a block cipher. An encrypted message may be transmitted with a non-public device identifier, to initiate secure communication between computing device 104 and user client device 112.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, computing device 104 receives from user device 104 a confirmation authentication a configuration packet. A confirmation may include any message, that allows user client device 112 to confirm the identify and/or authenticity of computing device 104. A confirmation may be transmitted from user client device 112 to computing device 104 using any network methodology as described herein. In an embodiment, a confirmation authentication may include receiving from user client device 112 a configuration packet uniquely identifying user client device 112. In such an instance, computing device 104 may receive the configuration packet uniquely identifying user client device 112 and authenticate the configuration packet, and the identify of user client device 112. Computing device 104 establishes a communication exchange as a function of receiving from user client device 112, a confirmation authenticating the configuration packet. A communication exchange includes any telecommunication handshake that includes an automated process of communications between two or more participants, such as computing device 104 and user client device 112. A telecommunication handshake includes the exchange of information establishing protocols of communication at the start of communication, before full communication commences. A telecommunication handshake may include exchanging signals to establish a communication link as well as to agree as to which protocols to implement. A telecommunication handshake may include negotiating parameters to be utilized between user client device 112 and computing device 104, including information transfer rate, coding alphabet, parity, interrupt procedure, and/or any other protocol or hardware features. A telecommunication handshake may include but is not limited to a transmission control protocol (TCP), simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP), transport layer security (TLS), Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and the like.

With continued reference to FIG. 1, a communication channel interface includes an audiovisual capture device. An “audiovisual capture device,” as used in this disclosure, is a device used to record sound and/or images. An audiovisual capture device may include but is not limited to, a camera, a video camera, a mobile device, a recording device, a DVD player, a sensor, a television tuner, a video capture card, a universal serial bus (USB) audio and/or visual capture device, and the like. In an embodiment, an audiovisual capture device may be located within client device 112.

Still referring to FIG. 1, communication interface includes an audiovisual streaming protocol. An “audiovisual streaming protocol,” as used in this disclosure, is a packet-based communication protocol that streams video and/or audio data from one device to another and vice-versa. An audiovisual streaming protocol may support a “video chat” process whereby a user of computer device can see real-time or near real-time footage of human subject, while human subject may be able to see real-time or near real-time footage of user of computing device 104. User of computing device 104 may include, without limitation, a doctor, physician, nurse practitioner, nurse, therapist, psychologist, medical technician, and/or any other medical professional and/or assistant thereof. Audiovisual streaming protocol may enable user to perform many actions of a medical visit virtually, for instance by having human subject perform measurements of height and/or weight of human subject, by having human subject present different body parts for inspection using audiovisual capture device, or the like.

Referring now to FIG. 2, computing device 104 is configured to receive a plurality of current physiological data 208 from at least a remote sensor 204 at the human subject. A “remote sensor,” as used in this disclosure, is a device that captures data of human subject and transmits that data to computing device 104, either by transmitting the data to client device 112 which relays the data to computing device 104, or by transmitting the data separately over a network connection. Data may be transmitted via communication channel interface and/or via a separate network connection formed, for instance, using a secure sockets layer (SSL) and/or hypertext transfer protocol-secure (HTTPS) process. Remote sensor 204 may include, without limitation, a camera such as a digital camera incorporated in a mobile device or the like, a microphone such as a mobile device microphone, a motion sensor, which may include one or more accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometer, or the like. Remote sensor 204 may include one or more peripheral devices such as a peripheral pulse oximeter or the like. Remote sensor 204 may include a network-connected device such as a network connected digital scale or the like. In an embodiment, remote sensor 204 may be used to capture audio or visual data concerning one or more portions of human subject's anatomy. For instance, and without limitation, a microphone may be pressed against one or more portions of human subject at direction of user over communication channel, causing capture of audio data from the one or more portion of human subject; as a non-limiting example, audio data of human subject lungs, heart, digestive system, or the like may be so captured. As a further example, user may instruct human subject to train a camera on one or more portions of anatomy to capture visual data concerning such one or more portions. Such physiological data may be combined; for instance, audio capture of circulatory system noise data may be combined with pulse oximetry data from a peripheral pulse oximeter and/or motion-sensor data indicating a degree of activity. Remote sensor 204 may include an electrical sensor such as a portable electrocardiogram device or the like. Generally, any sensor capable of capturing data of human subject and transmitting such data locally or over a network may be used as a remote sensor 204.

Still referring to FIG. 2, plurality of current physiological data 208 may include cardiovascular data such as heart rate data, blood pressure data, or the like, for instance captured using audio and/or oximetry devices. Plurality of current physiological data 208 may include respiratory data such as audio capture of pulmonary sounds using a microphone or the like. Plurality of current physiological data 208 may include neurological data. Plurality of current physiological data 208 may include digestive audio data. Plurality of physiological data may include visual data captured regarding one or more elements of externally visible patient anatomy. Plurality of physiological data may capture one or more elements of human subject bodily motion, including gait, posture or gestural motions.

Still referring to FIG. 2, computing device 104 is configured to generate a clinical measurement approximation 212 as a function of the plurality of current physiological data 208. A “clinical measurement approximation 212,” as used in this disclosure, is a numerical value estimating a likely clinical measurement matching plurality of current physiological data 208. A clinical measurement approximation 212 may function as approximation of what Dr. would get in person. For instance, a clinical measurement approximation 212 may approximate a heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen level, or other “vital sign” that might be captured in a clinical setting. In an embodiment, remote sensor 204 data may lack accuracy of clinically measured data and/or may not measure a given clinically measured datum directly. For instance, heart rate and/or blood oxygen as measured by home equipment, mobile devices, and/or mobile device peripherals may be less accurate than similar measurements captured using professional equipment. As a further non-limiting example, remote sensors 204 available at human subject and/or client device 112 may not measure blood pressure directly but may measure a combination of cardiovascular parameters having some correlation, singly or in combination, with blood pressure, which may be used in some combination to estimate blood pressure levels. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various clinical measurement approximations 212 that may be generated. A user of computing device 104 may use one or more clinical measurement approximations 212, in combination with other information obtained by communicating with human subject and/or clinical history of human subject, to arrive at conclusions concerning a state of health of human subject.

Referring to FIG. 3, generation of clinical measurement approximation 212 may be performed using a machine-learning process. Referring now to FIG. 3, an exemplary embodiment of a machine-learning module 300 that may perform one or more machine-learning processes as described in this disclosure is illustrated. Machine-learning module may include any suitable Machine-learning module may perform determinations, classification, and/or analysis steps, methods, processes, or the like as described in this disclosure using machine learning processes. A “machine learning process,” as used in this disclosure, is a process that automatedly uses training data 304 to generate an algorithm that will be performed by a computing device 104/module to produce outputs 308 given data provided as inputs 312; this is in contrast to a non-machine learning software program where the commands to be executed are determined in advance by a user and written in a programming language.

Still referring to FIG. 3, “training data,” as used herein, is data containing correlations that a machine-learning process may use to model relationships between two or more categories of data elements. For instance, and without limitation, training data 304 may include a plurality of data entries, each entry representing a set of data elements that were recorded, received, and/or generated together; data elements may be correlated by shared existence in a given data entry, by proximity in a given data entry, or the like. Multiple data entries in training data 304 may evince one or more trends in correlations between categories of data elements; for instance, and without limitation, a higher value of a first data element belonging to a first category of data element may tend to correlate to a higher value of a second data element belonging to a second category of data element, indicating a possible proportional or other mathematical relationship linking values belonging to the two categories. Multiple categories of data elements may be related in training data 304 according to various correlations; correlations may indicate causative and/or predictive links between categories of data elements, which may be modeled as relationships such as mathematical relationships by machine-learning processes as described in further detail below. Training data 304 may be formatted and/or organized by categories of data elements, for instance by associating data elements with one or more descriptors corresponding to categories of data elements. As a non-limiting example, training data 304 may include data entered in standardized forms by persons or processes, such that entry of a given data element in a given field in a form may be mapped to one or more descriptors of categories. Elements in training data 304 may be linked to descriptors of categories by tags, tokens, or other data elements; for instance, and without limitation, training data 304 may be provided in fixed-length formats, formats linking positions of data to categories such as comma-separated value (CSV) formats and/or self-describing formats such as extensible markup language (XML), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), or the like, enabling processes or devices to detect categories of data.

Alternatively or additionally, and continuing to refer to FIG. 3, training data 304 may include one or more elements that are not categorized; that is, training data 304 may not be formatted or contain descriptors for some elements of data. Machine-learning algorithms and/or other processes may sort training data 304 according to one or more categorizations using, for instance, natural language processing algorithms, tokenization, detection of correlated values in raw data and the like; categories may be generated using correlation and/or other processing algorithms. As a non-limiting example, in a corpus of text, phrases making up a number “n” of compound words, such as nouns modified by other nouns, may be identified according to a statistically significant prevalence of n-grams containing such words in a particular order; such an n-gram may be categorized as an element of language such as a “word” to be tracked similarly to single words, generating a new category as a result of statistical analysis. Similarly, in a data entry including some textual data, a person's name may be identified by reference to a list, dictionary, or other compendium of terms, permitting ad-hoc categorization by machine-learning algorithms, and/or automated association of data in the data entry with descriptors or into a given format. The ability to categorize data entries automatedly may enable the same training data 304 to be made applicable for two or more distinct machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below. Training data 304 used by machine-learning module 300 may correlate any input data as described in this disclosure to any output data as described in this disclosure.

Further referring to FIG. 3, training data may be filtered, sorted, and/or selected using one or more supervised and/or unsupervised machine-learning processes and/or models as described in further detail below; such models may include without limitation a training data classifier 316. Training data classifier 316 may include a “classifier,” which as used in this disclosure is a machine-learning model as defined below, such as a mathematical model, neural net, or program generated by a machine learning algorithm known as a “classification algorithm,” as described in further detail below, that sorts inputs into categories or bins of data, outputting the categories or bins of data and/or labels associated therewith. A classifier may be configured to output at least a datum that labels or otherwise identifies a set of data that are clustered together, found to be close under a distance metric as described below, or the like. Machine-learning module 300 may generate a classifier using a classification algorithm, defined as a processes whereby a computing device 104 and/or any module and/or component operating thereon derives a classifier from training data 304. Classification may be performed using, without limitation, linear classifiers such as without limitation logistic regression and/or naive Bayes classifiers, nearest neighbor classifiers such as k-nearest neighbors classifiers, support vector machines, least squares support vector machines, fisher's linear discriminant, quadratic classifiers, decision trees, boosted trees, random forest classifiers, learning vector quantization, and/or neural network-based classifiers. As a non-limiting example, training data classifier 316 may classify elements of training data to a cohort of persons and/or clinical data having similarities to data of human subject and/or current physiological data 208

Still referring to FIG. 3, machine-learning module 300 may be configured to perform a lazy-learning process 320 and/or protocol, which may alternatively be referred to as a “lazy loading” or “call-when-needed” process and/or protocol, may be a process whereby machine learning is conducted upon receipt of an input to be converted to an output, by combining the input and training set to derive the algorithm to be used to produce the output on demand. For instance, an initial set of simulations may be performed to cover an initial heuristic and/or “first guess” at an output and/or relationship. As a non-limiting example, an initial heuristic may include a ranking of associations between inputs and elements of training data 304. Heuristic may include selecting some number of highest-ranking associations and/or training data 304 elements. Lazy learning may implement any suitable lazy learning algorithm, including without limitation a K-nearest neighbors algorithm, a lazy naive Bayes algorithm, or the like; persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various lazy-learning algorithms that may be applied to generate outputs as described in this disclosure, including without limitation lazy learning applications of machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below.

Alternatively or additionally, and with continued reference to FIG. 3, machine-learning processes as described in this disclosure may be used to generate machine-learning models 324. A “machine-learning model,” as used in this disclosure, is a mathematical and/or algorithmic representation of a relationship between inputs and outputs, as generated using any machine-learning process including without limitation any process as described above, and stored in memory; an input is submitted to a machine-learning model 324 once created, which generates an output based on the relationship that was derived. For instance, and without limitation, a linear regression model, generated using a linear regression algorithm, may compute a linear combination of input data using coefficients derived during machine-learning processes to calculate an output datum. As a further non-limiting example, a machine-learning model 324 may be generated by creating an artificial neural network, such as a convolutional neural network comprising an input layer of nodes, one or more intermediate layers, and an output layer of nodes. Connections between nodes may be created via the process of “training” the network, in which elements from a training data 304 set are applied to the input nodes, a suitable training algorithm (such as Levenberg-Marquardt, conjugate gradient, simulated annealing, or other algorithms) is then used to adjust the connections and weights between nodes in adjacent layers of the neural network to produce the desired values at the output nodes. This process is sometimes referred to as deep learning.

Still referring to FIG. 3, machine-learning algorithms may include at least a supervised machine-learning process 328. At least a supervised machine-learning process 328, as defined herein, include algorithms that receive a training set relating a number of inputs to a number of outputs, and seek to find one or more mathematical relations relating inputs to outputs, where each of the one or more mathematical relations is optimal according to some criterion specified to the algorithm using some scoring function. For instance, a supervised learning algorithm may include inputs as described in this disclosure as inputs, outputs as described in this disclosure as outputs, and a scoring function representing a desired form of relationship to be detected between inputs and outputs; scoring function may, for instance, seek to maximize the probability that a given input and/or combination of elements inputs is associated with a given output to minimize the probability that a given input is not associated with a given output. Scoring function may be expressed as a risk function representing an “expected loss” of an algorithm relating inputs to outputs, where loss is computed as an error function representing a degree to which a prediction generated by the relation is incorrect when compared to a given input-output pair provided in training data 304. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various possible variations of at least a supervised machine-learning process 328 that may be used to determine relation between inputs and outputs. Supervised machine-learning processes may include classification algorithms as defined above.

Further referring to FIG. 3, machine learning processes may include at least an unsupervised machine-learning processes 332. An unsupervised machine-learning process, as used herein, is a process that derives inferences in datasets without regard to labels; as a result, an unsupervised machine-learning process may be free to discover any structure, relationship, and/or correlation provided in the data. Unsupervised processes may not require a response variable; unsupervised processes may be used to find interesting patterns and/or inferences between variables, to determine a degree of correlation between two or more variables, or the like.

Still referring to FIG. 3, machine-learning module 300 may be designed and configured to create a machine-learning model 324 using techniques for development of linear regression models. Linear regression models may include ordinary least squares regression, which aims to minimize the square of the difference between predicted outcomes and actual outcomes according to an appropriate norm for measuring such a difference (e.g. a vector-space distance norm); coefficients of the resulting linear equation may be modified to improve minimization. Linear regression models may include ridge regression methods, where the function to be minimized includes the least-squares function plus term multiplying the square of each coefficient by a scalar amount to penalize large coefficients. Linear regression models may include least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) models, in which ridge regression is combined with multiplying the least-squares term by a factor of 1 divided by double the number of samples. Linear regression models may include a multi-task lasso model wherein the norm applied in the least-squares term of the lasso model is the Frobenius norm amounting to the square root of the sum of squares of all terms. Linear regression models may include the elastic net model, a multi-task elastic net model, a least angle regression model, a LARS lasso model, an orthogonal matching pursuit model, a Bayesian regression model, a logistic regression model, a stochastic gradient descent model, a perceptron model, a passive aggressive algorithm, a robustness regression model, a Huber regression model, or any other suitable model that may occur to persons skilled in the art upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure. Linear regression models may be generalized in an embodiment to polynomial regression models, whereby a polynomial equation (e.g. a quadratic, cubic or higher-order equation) providing a best predicted output/actual output fit is sought; similar methods to those described above may be applied to minimize error functions, as will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 3, machine-learning algorithms may include, without limitation, linear discriminant analysis. Machine-learning algorithm may include quadratic discriminate analysis. Machine-learning algorithms may include kernel ridge regression.

Connections between nodes may be created via the process of “training” the network, in which elements from a training data 304 set are applied to the input nodes, a suitable training algorithm (such as Levenberg-Marquardt, conjugate gradient, simulated annealing, or other algorithms) is then used to adjust the connections and weights between nodes in adjacent layers of the neural network to produce the desired values at the output nodes. This process is sometimes referred to as deep learning. This network may be trained using training data 304.

Referring again to FIG. 2, and as a non-limiting example, computing device 104 may be configured to generate clinical measurement approximation 212 by receiving approximation training data 216 correlating physiological data with clinical measurement data, training a measurement approximation model 220 as a function of the training data and a machine-learning process, and generating the clinical measurement approximation 212 as a function of the current physiological data 208 and the measurement approximation model 220. “Clinical measurement data,” as used in this disclosure is data describing measurements taken in a clinical setting such as a doctor's office with clinical equipment, such as a blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, or the like. Approximation training data 216 may be collected, without limitation, by taking simultaneous clinical measurements and remote sensor 204 measurements of human subject and/or other persons over one or more in-person clinical visits, for instance and without limitation according to examples as described in further detail below.

Further referring to FIG. 2, generating clinical measurement approximation 212 may include identifying at least a category of current physiological data 208 and classifying the at least a category of current physical data to the measurement approximation model 220 and/or to approximation training data 216 used to train approximation model. Classification may be performed using a classifier, as described above, which may match physiological data sets to one or more input sets suitable for one or more clinical measurement approximation 212. For instance, and without limitation, current physiological data 208 may contain a first set of data that may be used to approximate a first clinical measurement, and a second set of data that may be used to approximate a second clinical measurement; in this case, classification may identify both such clinical measurements and machine-learning models and/or training data that may be used to approximate each. Where the same clinical measurement may be approximated by a first set of physiological measurement data or a second set of physiological measurement data, classifier may identify both, and computing device 104 may determine which set of physiological measurement data produces a more reliable result, for instance as calculated below; a measurement approximation model 220 associated with the more reliable set may be selected for use by computing device 104.

Still referring to FIG. 2, training measurement approximation model 220 may include generating a general model. General model may be a first measurement approximation model 220 trained with general approximation training data 216, as described above, concerning multiple persons, where each entry may be obtained as described above. A population of persons that general approximation training data 216 describes may be a randomly selected population of patients and/or a population of patients chosen according to one or more characteristics shared with human subject, where one or more characteristics may include demographic data such as age, sex, ethnicity, region of residence, or the like, diagnostic data such as shared illnesses, conditions, and/or preconditions, other data such as user habits, or the like. Such data may be tracked and stored for each patient in a subject database 224.

Referring now to FIG. 4, an exemplary embodiment of a subject database 224 is illustrated. Subject database may be implemented, without limitation, as a relational subject database, a key-value retrieval subject database such as a NOSQL subject database, or any other format or structure for use as a subject database that a person skilled in the art would recognize as suitable upon review of the entirety of this disclosure. Subject database may alternatively or additionally be implemented using a distributed data storage protocol and/or data structure, such as a distributed hash table or the like. Subject database may include a plurality of data entries and/or records as described above. Data entries in a subject database may be flagged with or linked to one or more additional elements of information, which may be reflected in data entry cells and/or in linked tables such as tables related by one or more indices in a relational subject database. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various ways in which data entries in a subject database may store, retrieve, organize, and/or reflect data and/or records as used herein, as well as categories and/or populations of data consistently with this disclosure. Subject database 224 may include one or more tables, including without limitation a demographics table 404; demographics table may include demographic information concerning human subject, including without limitation age, ethnicity, location of residence, national origin, sex, or the like. Subject database 224 may include a clinical history table 408, which may contain previously captured clinical measurements of human subject and/or related sensor measurements. Subject database 224 may include a diagnostic table 412, which may contain one or more diagnoses, prognoses, and/or other prognostic data concerning human subject.

Referring again to FIG. 2, approximation training data 216 and/or general approximation training data 216 may alternatively or additionally be matched to human subject using a subject classifier 228. Subject classifier 228, which may include any classifier as described above, may classify approximation training data 216 to one or more patient categories, and may then classify human subject to one or more such patient categories; corresponding training data may be used to train a general approximation model, which training may be performed after classification of human subject and/or concurrently or prior to such classification. In an embodiment, a general approximation model may enable computing device 104 to approximate a given clinical measurement for persons in given cohort and/or for persons generally, providing a “first guess” regarding human subject, which may be used for further steps of process and/or used as an initial step in a human subject—specific training process.

Still referring to FIG. 2, computing device 104 may further train general approximation model using subject-specific training data, defined herein as approximation training data 216 collected using clinical measurements and corresponding remote sensor 204 data regarding human subject specifically. This data may be collected in one or more live clinical visits. In an embodiment, training a subject-specific model from a general approximation model may enable a relatively sparse set of subject-specific training data to be used to generate an accurate subject-specific model.

In an embodiment, and with further reference to FIG. 2, training measurement approximation model 220 may include classification of the human subject to approximation training data 216; for instance in lieu of use of use of subject-specific training data, training data classified to user as above may be used to generate approximation model.

In an embodiment, and still referring to FIG. 2, generating clinical measurement approximation 212 may include calculating a change between a first discrete data set of plurality of current physiological data 208 and a second discrete set of current physiological data 208 and generating clinical measurement approximation 212 as a function of the change. A “discrete set” of data, as used in this disclosure, is a set of data that may be definitely separated from another discrete set, such as data separated by an interval in time, taken with a different category of remote sensor 204, or the like. A difference between first discrete set and second discrete set may be used in some embodiments as an input to approximation model. In other words, some embodiments of system may use a change in sensor feedback from a first discrete measurement to a second discrete measurement captured after the first discrete measurement, and/or captured through a distinct channel, to generate clinical measurement approximation 212. First discrete set of current physiological data 208 may be temporally separated from second discrete set of current physiological data 208, where “temporal separation” indicates that a period of time, which may be a time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or the like, separates the two sets. Period of time may be determined by a user of computing device 104, such as a doctor or other medical professional.

Still referring to FIG. 2, computing device 104 may be configured to record the first discrete set of current physiological data 208, generate a prompt instructing the human subject to perform an activity, and record the second discrete set of current physiological data 208. For instance, and without limitation, where the clinical measurement to be approximated is a cardiovascular measurement, activity may include some degree of physical exertion such as squats, running in place, walking around the room, bending down to touch toes, or the like. As a further example, activity may include consuming a food, liquid, or other substance, positioning a sensor by moving from a first position used to capture first data set to a second position used to capture second data set (e.g., motion from front of torso to rear of torso of a microphone), or the like. Computing device 104 may be configured to verify that the human subject has performed the activity. Verification may be performed, without limitation, by way of visual confirmation by a user of computing device 104, such as without limitation a doctor or other medical professional.

Still referring to FIG. 2, computing device 104 is configured to present clinical measurement approximation 212 to a user of computing device 104 using the communication interface. User of computing device 104 may include, without limitation, a doctor or other medical professional. Computing device 104 may be configured to determine a degree of reliability 232 of the clinical measurement and provide the degree of reliability 232 using the communication interface. A “degree of reliability 232,” as used in this disclosure, is a probability that clinical measurement approximation 212 matches a corresponding clinical measurement. Degree of reliability 232 may be computed, without limitation, using a terminal error function result in generation of approximation model; for instance, where error function was iteratively minimized during training, minimal error function resulting from training process may be converted to an error and/or error probability percentage. Computing device 104 may be configured to identify a follow-up action as a function of the degree of reliability 232. For instance, and without limitation, computing device 104 may compare degree of reliability 232 to a preconfigured threshold number, such as a probability of accuracy above a threshold percentage; falling below the threshold number may cause computing device 104 to determine that more information is needed. Alternatively or additionally, a user of computing device 104 such as a doctor or other medical professional may view degree of reliability 232 as displayed to the user, may conclude that further information is needed for a more accurate result, and may enter an instruction via computing device 104 and/or interface indicating that a follow-up action is needed.

Further referring to FIG. 2, follow-up action may include one or more additional readings using remote sensors 204, which may include duplicate readings, readings taking using a different sensor and/or set of sensors, readings temporally separated from a first set of readings, for which changes as described above may be used as an input, or the like. A new set of remote sensor 204 readings may be combined with an original set as inputs to approximation model and/or may be input to approximation model separately; in either case, reliability of second output may be evaluated for improvement in reliability, and process may be repeated until reliability exceeds a threshold number as described above and/or a user of computing device 104 enters a command indicating satisfaction. Follow-up action may alternatively or additionally include a clinical test corresponding to clinical measurement approximation 212. For instance, computing device 104 may output a suggestion to perform clinical test and/or a user of computing device 104 may instruct human subject to perform the clinical test and/or may order that a clinical test be performed. In an embodiment, processes described in this disclosure may enable a medical professional to determine when processes such as diagnostics using shipped samples, conveyance of more exact testing equipment to a location of human subject, and/or an in-person clinical visit are necessary or recommended.

At step 515, and still referring to FIG. 5, computing device 104 generates a clinical measurement approximation 212 as a function of the plurality of current physiological data 208; this may be implemented, without limitation, as described above in reference to FIGS. 1-4.

Generating the clinical measurement approximation 212 may include identifying at least a category of current physiological data 208 and classifying the at least a category of current physical data to measurement approximation model 220.

First discrete set of current physiological data 208 may be temporally separated from second discrete set of current physiological data 208. In an embodiment, computing device 104 may record first discrete set of current physiological data 208, generate a prompt instructing human subject to perform an activity, and record second discrete set of current physiological data 208. Computing device 104 may verify that human subject has performed the activity.

At step 520, and still referring to FIG. 5, computing device 104 may present clinical measurement approximation 212 to a user of the computing device 104 using the communication interface; this may be implemented, without limitation, as described above in reference to FIGS. 1-4.
